Healthy, low-cost dishes to make you smile
I love a fritter as a freeze-ahead meal prep item to use for impromptu dinners, packed lunches, picnics and as a veggie packed side, so these Indian Style Sweet Potato Fritters are a total winner. If you have any random root veg laying around you […]
It’s always so helpful to have a quick and easy recipe up your sleeve which uses store cupboard ingredients and tastes delicious too. Even better if it’s accessible to as many people as possible. These healthy flapjacks are great for those who might not […]
Okay, now brace yourself, these chocolate muffins are (deep breath) egg-free, fat-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, sugar-free, nut-free, but definitely NOT flavour free! There is a good reason they are called Free From Everything Healthy Chocolate Brownie Muffins you see! I know what you’re thinking, what do they actually contain? The answer is basically all the good stuff.
In fact, there is so much good stuff in here that they would be a fabulous breakfast for anybody who doesn’t ‘do’ breakfast. They’re the healthiest choice you could go for if you need a sweet snack at coffee time, and the kids will think you’re being the best parent ever giving them this delicious treats when you know that they are actually bulking up on goodness. They are packed with iron, zinc, magnesium and antioxidants so this is certainly a situation where cake really is good for your health!
Overall then – a muffin case of perfect. I hope you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how fluffy and light these brownie muffins are. Serve them with the optional topping which is like a chocolate fudge, So sweet and squishy but with only a few simple ingredients.

I have recently been toying with ‘healthy’ truffles. Not just because it’s the season for them but also because I am trying to find bite size treats for lunchboxes which pack a nutritional punch! These Salted Caramel Chocolate Avocado Truffles are not only sugar-free and school lunch friendly nut-free too – they are packed with good oils to support brain function and well being.
This recipe is just for the soft, truffle centre, the beauty is you can then roll them in anything you fancy. Be it cocoa powder, some coconut shavings, my son loves them rolled in currants and here I’ve used a quality Christmas spiced real hot chocolate flakes.
I have used a sugar-free dark chocolate which gives a rich result although these are anything but bitter. You could use a lighter chocolate if you prefer and are less concerned about them being sugar-free.
These are so great to take to friends houses if they have dietary requirements as they are vegan, nut-free and also suitable for many low carb diets. If you are on a keto diet these would make a fab post work out snack to satisfy your sweet tooth too.
